Postdoctoral position in Computational Genomics The Pfeifer Lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in Computational Genomics. Research topics are open to discussion and mutual interest though should align with the overall interests of the lab which combines the development of novel genomics 'big data' with computational and statistical methods for evolutionary inference to gain a better understanding of (i) the molecular and genetic differences that underlie species-specific phenotypic traits and heritable disease, (ii) the evolutionary processes that explain the accrual, and fate, of these differences, and (iii) the impact of these processes on genome evolution. The ideal applicant will have a scientific background (biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, mathematics, physics, statistics, or related fields) with a genuine interest in evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, and/or genomics. Prior experience with large-scale genomic data and/or quantitative skills - including proficiency in a programming language/shell, theoretical and computational population genetics, and/or statistical modeling experience - are beneficial. Applicants should have good organizational skills and enjoy working in a collaborative and interdisciplinary team. The Pfeifer Lab offers a supportive and stimulating work environment with excellent opportunities for training and collaboration. The Lab is based in the School of Life Sciences and is associated with the Center for Evolution and Medicine (https://evmed.asu.edu/), the Center for Mechanisms of Evolution (https://biodesign.asu.edu/mechanisms-of evolution/) and the Mathematical, Computational, and Modeling Sciences Center (https://mcmsc.asu.edu/). The Lab has strong intellectual ties - including lab meetings, seminars, and journal clubs - with the local evolutionary/population genetics, primate genomics, and computational biology research communities (http://asupopgen.org/). The office space is located in the Life Sciences building C on Arizona State University's main campus (interactive map with 360 degree panorama views: https://tours.asu.edu/tempe) which is the scientific home to researchers from 157 countries across the globe. Phoenix stays warm year-round with over 300 days of sunshine and offers many excellent restaurants, a vibrant art, music, and cultural scene, as well as beautiful nature preserves for any kind of outdoor activities. Funding is available for three years, contingent on annual renewal based on progress. The start date is flexible. Interested? Contact Susanne Pfeifer for informal inquires, and/or to send an application (including a CV, names of two references, and a cover letter describing your interests and fit for the position). The evaluation of applications will begin September 15, and will continue until a suitable candidate has been found. Susanne P.
